Chicken a la Paulius

Ok, I'm about to write a post I promised myself I'd never do.

A recipe.

In my own defence, not only do I think this is worth sharing, but if I put it up here, Sunny can't say she doesn't know how to make it, so I won't have to cook it all the time.

Bear in mind, the weightwatchers out there, that this is hardly 'low fat'.

You have been warned.


Chicken A La Paulius:

You will need.

One chicken breast per person.
Mozzerella cheese
Bacon (Streaky bacon for the Brits in the audience)
Garlic powder
Whatever herbs you like (Mixed italian seasoning works best)
Butter or Margerine

To prepare:

Take your chicken breasts (fully thawed), and place on a sheet of plastic wrap, fold the plastic wrap over the top.

Hammer the chicken breasts flat (to about a 1" thickness), and remove from the plastic wrap.

Put a few slices slices of mozerella on top of the chicken breasts, sprinkle with garlic powder and herbs.

Roll the chicken breasts into a cylinder, with the cheese inside, like wrapping a pancake around a sausage link.

Wrap a single slice of bacon around each chicken breast to hold everything in place.

Put in a pre-heated oven at 400 degrees.

Put your margerine into a microwaveable cup, and add garlic powder and your herbs. Microwave for about 40 seconds until the butter is melted.

Use the margerine/garlic mixture to baste your chicken every 5-10 minutes.

The chicken will take roughly 20 - 30 minutes to bake. Check it often, and be sure to cut into one to make sure it is cooked through before serving.

Oh, and one last thing, put another slice of mozerella on top of your chicken breasts about 5 minutes before removing them from the oven.

Serve immediately (They aren't good cold), with whatever you like.

Shouting 'BAM!', 'Let's kick it up a notch' or 'Pukka!', is entirely optional, but not recommended.
